What are some elements that would deter you from living in a "trailerWrap-like" home? I'd also be interested in learning about the improvements you have done to your 1981 lancer mobile home, as others' may be able use some of your improvements in their own homes.

I saw this first hand, and it is one incredibly bright light source. it blew me away!

Not to mention the best view in the entire city. Not so sure that Skiing Magazine wants their office view to be a brick wall though.
